On a loving Monday Midday You got drafted and I drifted along Your sister in arms dug the trench Her commands oozed of fear that You weren't blind as a mole How did her sermon in snapdragon fields Ever drop you on your knees before her? You mutter through my now empty halls "I'm sorry, I'm but a puppet for her calls" My letters of concern remain unread And you've been walking blindly without a cane Order of your self-elected colonel of dread Commanding the ball on your chain Her desire was a speaking mermaid and a prince left To god with bare feet by a cold poppy Why did your feet ever step on that train? Leaving me to slowly die in vain Now fly away my dove and go west And settle in the moonflower's nest Fly away my dove and go west And settle in the moonflower's nest Don't you worry darlin', my love Is nothing but a momentary curse Sorry if I'm cold, but the brown sugar's scarce Leaving me but an avalanche glaring down Upon our army of meager dogs The fields of hollow roses will be gone It was bombed, yet the clouds remained dry But a midst the chaos rose solemn tansy flower Her instructions were clear And I pity at your ignorant figure Don't gaze with your plagued hand and feet And body lead by string Saying "Give it to the deep six and remember, You're my slave and I'm your master" Saying "Give it to the deep six and remember, You're my slave and I'm your master" Now fly away my dove and go west And settle in the moonflower's nest Fly away my dove and go west And settle in the moonflower's nest The one who conceals hatred has lying lips And whoever utters slander is a fool Your face will be of a stranger's Once you've been left a solitary tool Lover, when did Jesus give you The third greatest commandment? Lover, is your dear Colonel Jesus then? Oh poor darlin', she has just dressed up Stockholm in the Emperor's clothes Was the cross ever on her back on Golgatha for you? Or was it too torn from the book? Or was it too torn from the book? Now fly away my dove and go west And settle in the moonflower's nest Fly away my dove and go west And settle in the moonflower's nest Now fly away my dove and go west And settle in the moonflower's nest Fly away my dove and go west And settle in the moonflower's nest
